raindropthe optimal solution
People with different industry backgrounds have different ideas about how to solve problems. However, the final optimal solution can not be obtained from a single perspective. Perhaps the optimal solution is a combination of offline handling and online crowdsourcing. For example, users ride vehicles scattered in remote areas to a series of parking spots that may not be where we want them to be, but are on the optimal path for moving vehicles offline. Moreover, the flexible setting of the rout...

One cold Sunday, Mark came home with a bag of small silver fish. This is Xiang Yu, or ice fish as the locals call it. He had bought it in a shop in the town to the south, opposite where a small village had sprung up on the ice of the lake, a collection of simple wooden houses with holes drilled around them. I've seen a snowmobile ride from the shore to a cabin with a six-pack of beer strapped to the back, like a half-dozen mini passengers. "Sit down and rest," Mark said. "I'll cook....

The farm is a three-hour drive southwest. We set out before dawn, but the place had been covered by another winter snow for a week. The farm is on a windy plateau that is truly in the middle of nowhere. The plows had more pressing roads to shovel, and the last five miles were so deep that they were almost impassable. We skidded in circles all the way, with no traction compared to the man pulling the sledge in front of us, who was driving two steady Belgian mares. There was a box of brown chic...

On the Virunga volcano group with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, Mr. George Schaller wore the same clothes again, squatting on the same low tree trunk, as in the past ten days, trying to look like a wooden stake. Not far away was a group of mountain gorillas. They were still wary of him at first. After a while, the eyes of the gorillas had become: Oh, this thing is coming again. He felt the time was right and began to sit there calmly.
This is the most enjoyable moment for field biologist Schaller - watching them quietly. This experience in 1959 made him the first person in the world to study gorillas in the wild. Previously, they were thought to be very ferocious. But in that observation, a female orangutan with a child slowly climbed up to the tree trunk next to Shirer and crouched with him, he saw the eyes of the female orangutan, a pair of eyes with charming brown and tender expressions, Just like human.
Schaller is 83 years old this year. When he sat in a hotel in Beijing and talked about the "beautiful eyes" of the female orangutan, his gray and transparent eyes opened slightly, as if he had seen something mysterious and beautiful.
He doesn't like cities. The noise of vehicles is too loud. When crossing the road, he needs to look left and right, just like a Tibetan antelope looking around in a panic while crossing the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. He doesn't use a cell phone and has no interest in constantly changing products. When he entered the wild, the sounds of various birds and beasts made him feel calm. Dealing with animals is easier than dealing with people, animals are "more honest" and "more peaceful", and those animals who can judge their emotions by their expressions need not be afraid. Once he heard the rustling of the leaves behind him and turned around to find a tiger staring at him a metre away. He slowly turned his face back to avoid staring at it, and after a while the tiger walked away. Once he bumped into a huge bear, he didn't move, the bear turned away. He attributes this to "the great tolerance of animals".
"The real danger always comes from humans." He hates to call nature a natural resource, which makes it sound like a commodity that can be bought, sold or thrown away, rather than truly treasured out of love. He is also the first person in the world to expose the connection between the Shatoosh shawl and the hunting of Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Previously, the sellers have always claimed that the fleece used to make the shawls was collected by Tibetans from the shedding of Tibetan antelopes instead of hunting them. .
Schaller always attended as many lectures and interviews as possible because he believed that "science only works when people really feel about it". He was willing to go out of his way to tell interesting experiences, such as one time he fell asleep while waiting for an anesthetized leopard to wake up, fell on the leopard's floppy body, and when he woke up, the leopard was watching him curiously.
The intimacy with animals makes him happy and satisfied. In the inaccessible Qiangtang Plateau, many animals have never seen people. Once, Shirer met a wolf, the wolf came over, it looked at Shirer, then walked away, keeping a peaceful distance. They walked a few hundred meters, looked at each other for a while, and finally the wolf walked up the hill and disappeared. At that moment, he felt accepted by it.
Environmental destruction will never stop, but Schaller believes in an ideal that transcends science: helping those fragments of the wilderness perpetuate. "Here, we can experience the peaceful rhythm of life and feel that we belong to the natural world again." In his view, wilderness is a state of mind. People in the future should have "the right to catch a glimpse of nature's sunset."
